DEMONS

I'm caught dealing with some problems I've been dealt My mom's calling me, she's talking 'bout my health Remember I'd swipe liquor off her shelf Brodie I'd be gone when the lights flicker And it always fucks with my mind 'Cause time flies quicker as I age Shit's real when your words come off the page Feel like my demons done caught me in a cage I'm just tryna cop the Wraith Keep my mom and brother straight Gotta chill out, I'm always stressing over time deficits See I've been working hard, I don't ever reap the benefits I'm dealing with my faults, I admit that I'm a pessimist So what the f*ck and I supposed to do to make me heaven sent And I got people 'round but no one knows my presence I just want a person I can lean on for dependence Lately I've been stuck, blame it on my adolescence And I can't change a thing, it's why I fiend for acquiescence I ain't asking for attention, leave me lone and I'll be straight But how am I supposed to eat with all this shit up on my plate It halted my progression, I'm supposed to be okay No one's answering my question, I'm responding with aggression Tryna' play ball, if you want some smoke I got possession Got me banging off the walls 'cause I ain't ever get affection I'm standing in the middle of a fucking intersection And I don't even recognize it's me in my reflection, so I need a therapist, all of this shit be scary I'm becoming my father, all the shit that I inherit I wish I had the drive to live my life up off of merit But I don't really care, I guess it's good that I'm aware This shit be for them kids who feel like no one's ever there So if you're dealing with some problems, throw that shit up in the air My shit's dirty, if the shoe fits, I wear it All I ever wanted was the 14 karat But that shit be fools gold, break a link when I tear it And I guess the world's cold, what I learned from my parents Plus the words unspoken, man all of it left me broken Swear that shit shook me like some earthquakes Burnt rubber, she knew that I pumped the brakes Straight out the lot, we playing for high stakes Gucci frames shine bright, throw shade to heartbreaks Like I'm blinded by the light, even though my heart aches My demons on me, they still keeping the pace F*ck, why won't they get the f*ck up out my face Been running so long that you would think I won the race I think it's going better, then it goes the other way And there ain't no umbrella that could cover all the rain Swear I fell in love twice and I ain't ever been the same And now that I'm on They're glancing at my neck it's all gold I can only converse with old souls Pack your bags, time to go My demons are on the road too You can't run forever There's some shit you can't escape A breath of fresh air from behind closed doors
